The progress chart operates on two levels. The words in each box indicate the present degree of compliance with the target. The colours show progress towards the target according to the

legend below:

Target already met or expected to be met by 2015. No progress or deterioration.

Progress insufficient to reach the target if prevailing trends persist. Missing or insufficient data.

For the regional groupings and country data, see mdgs.un.org. Country experiences in each region may differ significantly from the regional average. Due to new data and revised methodologies,

this Progress Chart is not comparable with previous versions.

Millennium Development Goals: 2012 Progress ChartThe adoption of the Millennium Declaration in 2000 by all United Nations MemberStates marked an historic moment, as world leaders committed to tackle extreme

poverty in its many dimensions and create a better life for everyone. The Millennium

Development Goals (MDGs) translate this commitment into a framework of

measurable goals and targets by which progress can be measured.

Progress is tracked against 21 targets and 60 indicators addressing extreme

poverty and hunger, education, womens empowerment and gender equality, health,

environmental sustainability and global par tnership.

This chart provides an assessement of where we stand on selected key targetsrelating to each Goal. Trends and levels are measured on the basis of information

available as of June 2012. The latest available data for most indicators are from

years 2010 to 2012; for a few indicators, the data go back to 2008.
